Steve Hewlett, the distinguished media commentator and programme maker, passed away on 20 February this year after a very public battle with cancer. He lived his last days through memorable encounters with Eddie Mair on PM and BBC Radio Four and his cancer diary in the Observer.

His good friend Nick Robinson, BBC Radio Four Today presenter and former Political Editor for the BBC, will give the inaugural Steve Hewlett Memorial Lecture on 28 September at the University of Westminster.

Following the lecture there will be a reception, with refreshments kindly provided by BBC Worldwide.
